Why Is The National Guard Being Deployed During The Great American Eclipse On April 8th?

The National Guard is only supposed to be deployed in emergency situations.  But these days the National Guard is being used for all sorts of things.  For example, hundreds of National Guard soldiers are being used to check the bags of those riding the subway system in New York City.  That sets a very alarming precedent, and I don’t understand why more people aren’t upset about this.  And now we have learned that National Guard troops will be deployed during the Great American Eclipse on April 8th.  What in the world do they expect to happen during this eclipse?

U.S. Consumers Have Reached A Breaking Point

Over the past several years, the cost of living has been rising significantly faster than paychecks have.  As a result, U.S. consumers have reached a breaking point.  Delinquency rates are spiking and bankruptcies have risen to a very dangerous level.  I have been hearing from so many people that are struggling to survive in this suffocating economic environment.  It has become increasingly difficult just to pay for the basics, and so many Americans have very little or no discretionary income to spend these days.  If you want evidence that this is having a major economic impact, just consider the fact that 1,000 dollar stores are going to be shut down.  If U.S. consumers were in good shape, that wouldn’t be happening.

Many Of The Most Beautiful Places In America Have Been Transformed Into Open Toilets

Once upon a time, America was such a beautiful place.  As a nation, we are blessed with great natural beauty, and the shiny, clean cities that we constructed from coast to coast were once the envy of the entire world.  But now many of the most beautiful places in America have literally been turned into open toilets.  Let me give you an example of what I am talking about.  Decades ago, California beaches were so spectacular that tourists would come from all over the world to experience them.  But now the beaches in one section of southern California resemble “a portable toilet” and have been closed for 700 days in a row due to billions of gallons of untreated wastewater that is flowing into the Pacific Ocean… (Read More...)

Is The Black Horse Of Famine Getting Ready To Ride Too?

A “perfect storm” of factors has created a global food crisis that just continues to intensify.  While you are enjoying a warm dinner tonight, millions of parents on the other side of the globe will have nothing to give to their children.  The world simply is not producing enough food to feed everyone, but I am entirely convinced that things are going to get dramatically worse by the end of this decade.  Yesterday, I discussed the red horse of war.  I believe that we are in the early stages of World War III, and during the years ahead we will see death and destruction on an unprecedented scale.  Needless to say, conflict of that magnitude would greatly disrupt global food production and global supply chains, and as a result we would experience horrifying famines all over the planet.

Generation Z Is Completely Freaking Out Over The Possibility That TikTok Could Be Banned

What happens when millions of TikTok influencers scream in horror all at once?  On Wednesday, the worst fears of TikTok addicts were realized when the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill that would ban the distribution of TikTok in the U.S. if ByteDance does not sell its shares to someone else.  If this bill becomes law, it is not certain that there is a U.S. buyer that would be willing to purchase those shares, and it is not certain that the Chinese government would be willing to allow ByteDance to sell those shares.  So the fate of the platform is very much up in the air.  170 million Americans have accounts on TikTok, and 7 million small businesses use the platform.  Needless to say, there are vast hordes of young people that are extremely upset about what Congress is trying to do, and lots of them will be voting in November.

Is The Soaring Cost Of Living Stressing You Out? U.S. Households Are Spending An Extra $11,434 Per Year Just To Maintain The Same Standard Of Living

I used to really enjoy going to the grocery store.  I would relentlessly hunt for deals, and I would show off what I was able to find when I got home.  But now all of the bargains are gone.  Instead, there are ridiculous prices and there are even more ridiculous prices.  The prices for some of the things that I normally buy have doubled.  In other cases, the prices have almost doubled.  Of course the soaring cost of living is the direct result of decisions that our leaders have made.  They just kept borrowing, spending and flooding the system with money, and now the cost of living is wildly out of control.

Nearly 107 Million Americans Do Not Have A Job Right Now

A lot of people are really confused about the state of the U.S. economy right now.  Large employers are conducting mass layoffs all over the country, and those that are searching for work are having a very difficult time.  But meanwhile, the Biden administration and the mainstream media continue to insist that the unemployment rate is low and everything is just fine.  So what can account for such incongruity?  Hopefully by the time you are done reading this article you will have a much clearer view of what is really going on out there.

Has The Banking Crisis Of 2024 Already Started?

We were warned that more banks would soon be getting into deep trouble.  In fact, just yesterday I told my readers to circle March 11th because that is when a very important Federal Reserve program that has been propping up our banks will be allowed to expire.  Unfortunately, we didn’t even have to wait for March 11th for the action to begin.  On Wednesday morning, shares of New York Community Bank were absolutely crashing.  Zero Hedge reported on the drama as it was unfolding… (Read More...)
